Import Tips & Compliance

• Be aware that HFC-143 is a fluorinated greenhouse gas; imports may require a permit under Canada's Ozone-depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations

• Confirm the refrigerant is not blended with other HFCs, which could change classification

• Report the import in the federal greenhouse gas tracking system if applicable
